Synopsis

The Christian and conservative Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on a small Scottish island called Summerisle to investigate the case of a missing child. As he witnesses and learns about the inhabitants’ strange sexual displays and bizarre pagan rituals - particularly those of Willow (Britt Ekland), the daughter of island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) - he gets closer to tracking down the missing child.
